Step 1: Pin and Quilt the outer fabric

Step 2: Trim the outer fabric

Step 2: Use a rotary cutter and ruler to square up the fabric. Trim the edges so that the finished piece measures 8.5" by 8.5".

Step 3: Fold and Sew

Step 3: Fold the outer layer in half, right sides together. Pin, and sew along the long side and 1 short side, using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

Step 4: Turn Right Side Out

Step 4: Turn the fabric right side out. Use a long, blunt object (like knitting needles) to poke out the corners.

Step 5: Fold and Sew Lining fabric

Step 5: Time for the lining. Fold the lining fabric in half, right sides together. Sew along the long side, using a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Sew along 1 short side, but leave a small opening. (about two fingers worth)

Step 6: Pin them together

Step 6: Slip the outer piece inside the lining as shown.

Pin the two pieces together and stitch around the opening.

Step 7: Pull it Through

Step 7: Pull the outer piece out through the opening in short side of the lining fabric. Don’t tuck the lining in just yet.

I just googled "sunglasses coloring pages," picked the one I liked best, printed it out at the size that I wanted and cut them out. I applied applique adhesive (can be found at JoAnns Fabrics) to the back of the yellow fabric and the gold fabric I used for the lens. I then pinned the sunglasses cut out to the yellow fabric and cut it out, and then cut out the lens in the gold fabric. Next, I ironed the design on the fabric. (I did this after I sewed the batting onto the outer fabric and before sewing the lining to it) The last thing I do for appliques is to make small stitches with colored embroidery thread around the edges to make sure it doesn't peel off. Here is a close up picture of the stitching.

Thanks! Your pic helped a lot! I really love the fabrics you chose. When I'm done I'll put a pic here too. I live in Brazil, and I've never seen this applique adhesive in the craft's stores here but I just used regular white glue and it worked just as fine.

U can still use it even tho u only have 1 pair. U can store them there @ nite when u take them off 2 go 2 sleep. My nite stand usually gets cluttered up & a case usually keeps them clean & safe from gettin scratched :-)
